Adversary emulation @scythe_io. Public Speaker. USMC vet. Writing about threat intel, detection engineering, and what actually works. Thoughts are my own.
The choreography gets the headlines. The entry point is password spraying.
Rob Joyce (@RGB_Lights), Owner at Joyce Cyber and former Cybersecurity Director at the NSA and Trey Bilbrey (@TCraf7) on Iran's hack-and-leak playbook. The mundane stuff is what gets them in. See more of our upcoming live sessions: https://t.co/fCwL6C9TLM

Seeing a lot of AI in your network?
All traffic provides the ocean for hackers to swim in your network and blend into the waves.
They are there, you’re just not seeing them.
Notepad++ is the software that got the headlines, but it was AI usage it abused.

I made a cool infographic to describe the PTEF (https://t.co/dPPhMUV60N ) and what it provides. Thought it would be nice to put out there for those interested in getting into Purple Teaming. Its also worth giving it gander if your thinking about how you can start updating and testing against the new MITRE ATT&CK update to v19 (https://t.co/Ne4wPDIzmg ).

So here’s the real question: Have you tested yours lately?
I'm curious where other teams are leaning..
If you had to pick right now:
What Are you more worried about right now?
A) Supply chain compromise
B) Missed exploitation
C) The magical AI overlords doing all the things..
🧵 (8/8)
Patch fast and risk a supply chain compromise.
OR
Patch slow and leave the door open for exploitation.
That’s the reality right now and here’s no clean answer.

The best teams don’t just blindly trust their detections. They test them.
Frequently.
(BTW) My good buddy Tyler did a presentation during @scythe_io#Unicon2026 on this very thing a little while back that is worth checking out: https://t.co/TKTXIrSW4Z
